FundedNext Futures

Account terminated for hitting the daily loss limit, despite being well within the maximum loss limit. Both limits are listed in the account rules, yet only one apparently matters. If the daily loss limit always results in termination, the maximum loss limit is misleading and should not be advertised as a key account parameter. Rules need to be clearer before traders pay to find this out.

​I am extremely disappointed with FundedNext. My $100k Funded Account (#11884555) was terminated for a "Margin Violation" while my total floating loss was only $800 (less than 0.8% of the account). ​The issue is a clear technical trap: ​Impossible Mathematics: I opened a single 1.0 lot trade on XAUUSD. Their system recorded a 93.96% margin usage. On a $100k account, this is mathematically absurd under normal conditions. ​Hidden Leverage Change: Support agent Mason Bradford confirmed that they suddenly applied a 1:5 leverage due to "market conditions." However, I received NO email or dashboard notification before this change was implemented. ​Contradictory Rules: While I strictly followed the risk management rule (keeping risk under 1% per trade), I was penalized by a forced margin hike that I wasn't informed of. ​Poor Support: Support refused to provide a solution and simply shifted the responsibility to the "Ethics Team," which has not responded. ​Closing a funded account with a healthy balance and minimal drawdown over a sudden, unannounced technical rule change is unethical and unprofessional. ​I demand a manual review by the Trading Ethics department and the immediate restoration of my account. Prospective traders should be aware that your funded account can be terminated even if you are in profit or minimal drawdown due to their back-end technical adjustments I am also a trading influencer on Instagram with a large following. I have already documented this entire technical error and the lack of support. If this matter is not resolved fairly and my account is not restored, I will be forced to share my full experience and these proofs with my community to warn them about these technical traps. I prefer a professional resolution, but I will protect my audience from such unfair practices."

To much slippage.

To much slippage.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at FundedNext. I recently breached a $100k account, and it wasn’t due to a lack of risk management, but rather the poor infrastructure of the platform. The spreads were consistently wider than advertised, and the slippage was unacceptable—frequently dragging my entries and exits to prices that made my strategy unviable. To make matters worse, the platform was extremely glitchy during my trading sessions. There were moments where the dashboard and the terminal were out of sync, and the lag during high-volatility periods was the final straw that led to the account breach. When you are trading a large account, you expect professional-grade execution. FundedNext failed to provide that. This has been my worst experience with a prop firm to date.

*They imposed new restrictions one day before my scheduled withdrawal — I held on for months, but no longer* I have been a FundedNext customer since 2025. In the early months, the firm offered discounts to encourage me to purchase a second account, and I accepted in good faith. I traded within a 1–1.5% risk band, respecting their rules. At a certain point I had 1 live and 1 phase account. One day before my scheduled withdrawal, the firm imposed a new set of restrictions on me under the name "Disciplined Trader Program." If I did not accept these restrictions, I would not be able to withdraw my pending payout. I had no real choice but to accept every condition. Maximum risk-at-a-time capped at 1%, mandatory stop-loss, 30% margin limit, ban on trading during high-impact news — and most importantly, all of this applied profile-wide, including all my future accounts. The reason given was not even a rule violation. The firm explicitly stated, in writing: "not due to any rule violation or alleged misuse." The actual reason was vague: a "behavioral and statistical review of past trading data." Which behavior? Which threshold? Not stated. I was simply told what restrictions would now apply. I tried the constructive route. I sent a respectful, professional letter requesting a manual review or even a live conversation. I explicitly stated that I accepted the rules, and that I was willing to maintain a 1% risk cap even if the restrictions were lifted. The reply was a categorical door-shut: no negotiation, no individual exception, no condition under which the guidelines would change. Not the tone of a single staff member — an institutional-level closure. I held on for months. My account did not blow up; I did not hit drawdown — meaning I did not exit the system due to any trader error. But trading under these restrictions was practically impossible; at some point I stopped using the account. Even when I lost my live account during this period, I tried to continue with the firm. For months I endured a bad experience, because I was hoping for a constructive resolution. Recently, a single position that briefly exceeded the 1% cap was used as the basis for: full confiscation of the profit I had earned, an "official warning," a notice that my account was now under "stricter monitoring," and a statement that the next step would cut my reward share in half and ultimately close my account. Bundled with this notification was a separate document reminding me of my confidentiality obligations — a warning, with the threat of legal action, telling me not to share this experience. Active pressure to keep me silent. I can't take it anymore, which is why I'm writing this. *If you are considering buying a 2nd or 3rd account from FundedNext*, think about this first: the moment you accumulate accounts and become fully invested, you fall under the scope of a profile-wide disciplinary program. Once you are in, the exit path is controlled by the firm, not by you. Your pending payouts become leverage. Your request for a manual review is met with "no negotiation, no exception." You spend months trying to hold on because you assume the relationship you started in good faith can be repaired. In the end, you either blow your account up — or, like me, you walk away by your own choice. I am writing this so that someone else does not walk the same path. It was the worst experience I've had. I have the evidence and full record of the process; I can present them if needed.
